Rant about some classified ads

[no2gates]

I'm tired of the feet thing, too. Y'all need to mix it up and include other body parts....especially if you have wives and girlfriends.....

So a picture of a Taurus cradled in some ample cleavage would be more likely to sell than than the one laying out on the bathroom sink ? Wow, who would have thought that.

Just think of it as something new and unique!

And I can see us all sitting in a circle singing Kumbaya.

You unlocked the secret. Next time I have a gun to sell, I'm gonna try to get the wife to let me lay it on her rack for the pix. Either the gun will sell fast, or I'll start entertaining offers for the wife

Ummm......never mind!

I can see some interesting WTS posts in the future possibly. Might make a BOS requirement easier to swallow.

You'll definitely get views. Isn't that what advertising is about?

No short n curlys or nasty bed stains either.

I did not read all 5 pages but why not make it a rule the topic needs to contain

Model, location, and price and if a BOS is required.

That way when someone posts an item I don't have to skim though the 10 photo's and a price stuck in the middle because they know its over priced I can just skip opening the add.

At some point these thread titles won’t be fit on a mobile screen.

1. Use paragraphs and punctuation, FFS!

2. Put the price (with the '$' sign) in the first paragraph! I'd like to know how much you want without scrolling three screens down and scanning for some numerical value.

3. Stop with all the requirements (BOS, LTC, affirmations, et al.). You are NOT an agent of the state. Or ARE you?!

4. You CAN legally ship a long gun or handgun to another Texas resident without the services of an FFL. Educate yourself on the applicable laws.

4a. If you're selling something I want and won't ship, move to within 100 miles of San Antonio!

5. Crop your photos; no one wants to see your feet/shoes/slippers.

Right!?!?! It's SO much easier to go over a well-made ad than having to fight through figuring it all out... Sheesh!

It's a matter of throughput. The more ads I can get through, the more stuff I can buy.

 

[candcallen]

If you are bumping your add several times a week for months your shit ain't gonna sell and you're pissing off everyone else who has to wade thru your posts to find new stuff.

Just saying

So what about that lawnmower?

Yes. Almost daily for 6 months.

It's not gonna sell. Sorry.

The self propelled one?

I considerd that but it's too far. Texas ain't no small place. Lol

I need one of those if I'm gonna be able to mow.

 

[candcallen]

Seriously though. 4 or 5 posts bumped daily for months. You prices are off, terms unacceptable or it just ain't gonna sell.

It also pushes new stuff off the front page so it doesnt even have a chance of being seen.

I'm just a crotchety bastard I guess.
